Melvin is personable, genuine and family oriented. He will clearly and precisely break down the process for you to understand what is going on within your specific case, communicate important details to you and be alongside you every step of the way. He showed me around the courthouse, introduced me to different individuals and made me feel comfortable during such an unfamiliar time. When charges are pending against you, it is serious. Melvin really helped me during my case. Told me not worry and ultimately backed these words up with actions. My charges were dropped. Melvin, understands the legal system beyond the technicalities. It is also about networking and his network is extensive. I am grateful for the second chance he provided me with and I hope anyone reading will consider this.

I retained Mr. Allen when my husband was in jail; he was charged with several serious crimes that could have kept him locked up for the rest of his life. One thing that struck me during the consultation was Mr. Allen’s ability to relate… I could tell this case would not be “just another file” to him, but he would dig his teeth in and fight as if it were HIS relative’s life on the line. Another thing that impressed me was Mr. Allen’s integrity in keeping his promises… The first being to visit my husband in jail before the weekend was over. Mr. Allen offered me a flat fee upfront, but was available via text if there were any emergencies, critical questions, and various court scheduling de-confliction. Although, the outcome looked bleak, Mr. Allen’s experience, professionalism, skillful negotiation, and much fasting and praying resulted in my husband being placed on house arrest and probation. I am SO grateful my family is still together and happier now than ever! Thank you for all of your hard work and care!

I am only able to write this review because of the choice I made to have Mr Allen represent me. I was charged with a number of very serious charges and I was obviously very skeptical about who was going to serve as my counsel. Mr Allen gained my confidence only seconds into our initial phone consult. I immediately hired him as my attorney. Mr Allen has the the uncanny ability to make you feel like you are his one and only client. His dedication to his clients, attention to detail and overall legal knowledge are just a few of the characteristics that set him apart from the crowd. Mr Allen is highly respected among his colleagues and peers. He has had a chance to work on both sides of the of law both prosecuting and now defending clients which gives him added credibility and experience. When you are in front of a judge and jury, your guilt or innocence is ultimately going to decided based almost solely on your attorney's ability to effectively present the facts. His poise, ability to read a room, and organizational skills are superb. I trusted Mr Allen with my life and I am here to tell my story because of that choice.

I have used Mr.Allen for all my cases from criminal to auto. In my criminal cases he got all four charges dismissed & I was able to get them expunged with a criminal record. As far as my auto I came out with big money.

Mr. Allen is an excellent counsel. He is efficient and does the necessary research needed to win the case he is fighting for. Within the case where he represented me, we were in front of the judge in all of about 2 minutes tops. He is exceptionally friendly and willing to work with anybody.

In May of 2015, I hired the services of the James Farmer law firm as a result of a motor vehicle accident that I was involved in with another vehicle in PG County. The other vehicle was clearly at fault and this fact was also stated in the official police report after a thorough investigation by the MD State Police. However, the defendant refused to accept the responsibility for his wrong doing to the point that he told his insurance company not to pay for the claims filed by the law firm on my behalf. So after a year of unsuccessful arbitration and adjudication between his insurance company and Farmer law firm, the case went to trial in a civil court. It was at this point that Mr. Melvin L. Allen Jr, ESQ, who works for the James Farmer law firm was assigned to my case as my trial lawyer. Mr. Allen was well familiar with my case, he well conversant with the laws surrounding my case, he prepared me for the trial and moreover he was well prepared for the trail as well. Mr. Allen presented a strong, clear, factual, accurate and convincing deposition to the judge. He thoroughly cross examined the defendant that the truth eventually came out. And the judge ruled in our favor and we won the case. Mr. Mr. Allen is well articulate with great public speaking skills. He’s thorough, thoughtful, analytical, poised and smart. He’s resolute, has strong logical thinking ability and interpersonal skills. You definitely want him on your legal team.

You don't have to search anymore top flight lawyer right here. I have hired melvin a few times for all types of legal problems and he is a outstanding lawyer. I gotta say when it comes down to the legal system he has a lot of knowledge. He's ready for any type of case.

He worked my case vigorously and professionally. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. With out his representation I would more than likely still be sitting behind bars based on my lack of knowledge of the judicial system. He is the best lawyer I ever had personally. I am a client for life!!!!
